Evaporative Emission (EVAPI Control Diagram
The EVAP controls minimize the amount of fuel vapor escaping to the atmosphere. Vapor from the fuel tanK rstemporarily stored in the EVAP canister until it can be purged from the canister into the engine and burneo.
. The EVAP canister is purged by drawing fresh air through it and into a port on the intake manifold.The purging vacuum is controlled by the EVAP canister purge valve, which operates whenever engine cootanttemperature is above 149'F (65"C).
'WhenvaporpressureinthefueltankishigherthanthesetvalueoftheEVAPtwowayvalve,thevalveopensano
regulates the flow of fuel vapor to the EVAP canister.'Duringrefueling,thefueltankvaporcontrol valve opens with the pressure in the fuel tank, and feeds the fuel vaDorto the EVAP canister.

YES-Go to step 28.
NO-Replace the EVAP canister vent shut valve (A)
and o-ring (B).1

ls there continuity?
YES-Repair short in the wire between the EVAP

NO Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
soflware, or substitute a known-good ECM, then
recheck (see page 11-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECM, replace the
original ECM.I

Vacuum Hoses and Connections Test
Do the fuel tank vapor control valve test (see page

YES-Go to step 31.
NO Replace the fueltank vapor control valve.l
Tighten the fuel cap 3 "clicks", then monitorthe
FTP sensor readings with the Honda PGM Tester.
Start the engine. and let it idle for 5 minutes.
Check the FTP sensor readings.
ls the reading above 0.5 kpa (4 mm Hg, 0.16 in.
Hg) pressure, or about 3 V?
YES Update the ECM if it does not have the latest
software, or substitute a known-good ECM, then
recheck {see page 1 1-6). lf the symptom/indication
goes away with a known-good ECfvl, replace the
original ECM.t
NO Check the following parts for leaks:l
. Fueltank (A)
. Fuel fill cap (B)
. Fuel fill pipe (C)
. Fueltank vapor control valve(D). Fueltank vapor recirculation valve (E)
. Fueltank vapor recirculation tube (F)
. Fueltank vapor signaltube (G)

FuelTank Vapor Control Valve Test
Special Tools Required
Vacuum Pump/Gauge, 0-30 in. Hg A973X-041-XXXXX
Float Test
1. Make sure the fuel tank is less than half full.
2. Remove the fuel fill cap to relieve fuel tank
pressure, then reinstall the cap.
3. Disconnect the fuel tank vapor recirculation tube
{A), and connect a vacuum PumP to it.
Plug the line (B).
Apply vacuum to the fuel tank vapor recirculation
tuDe.
lf the vacuum holds, replace the fuel tank vapor
control valve (see page 11-189).
lf the vacuum does not hold, the float is OK. Do
the valve test.
5.
A973X-041-XXXXX
Valve Test
1. N4ake sure the fuel tank is less than half full
2. Remove the fuel fill cap.
3. Disconnect the fuel tank vapor signal tube (A).
Disconnect the vacuum hoses (A) from the EVAP
canister (B), then plug the ports with plugs (C)4.
A973X-O41-XXXXX
5. Disconnect the vacuum hose (D) from the EVAP
canister vent shut valve (E), and connect a vacuum
pump to the vacuum hose.
6. Pump the vacuum pump 80 times.
. lf the vacuum holds, goto steP 7.. lf the vacuum does no1 hold, go to step 10.

7. Connect a second vacuum pump to the fuel tankvapor signaltube (A).
8. Apply vacuum (1 pump) to the fuel tank vaporsignal tube (A). then check the vacuum on thepump in step 6.
. lf the vacuum holds, replace the fueltank vapor
control valve {see page 11-189).. If the vacuum is released, goto step 9.
11-188
10.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel, then check for fuel in theEVAP two way valve (A), and fuel tank vaporrecirculation hose (B).
NOTE: At either location, tiny droplets of fuel arenormal.
. lf fuel runs out of th e hoses at either location,
replace the fuel tank vapor control valve..lfthefuel does not run out of the hoses, the fuel
tank vapor system function is normal.
Disconnect the fuel tank vapor quick disconnectfrom the EVAP canister, then plug lhe port on the
canister. Reapply vacuum (80 pumps).
. lf the vacuum holds, replace the fuel tank control
valve (see page 1 1-189).. lf the vacuum does not hold, insDect the EVAP
canister vent shut valve o-ring. lf the o-ring is OK,replace the EVAP canister, and repeat step 4.
Check for fuel rirnning out.
Check for fuel running out.

General Troubleshooting Information
How to Retrieve a DTC
The heater control panel has a self-diagnosis function. To run the self-diagnosis function, do the following:
1. Turn the fan switch OFF.
2. Pressand holdthe recirculation control switch andthe rear window defoooer switch down.
3. Turn the ignition switch oN {lli.
4. Release both switches. The recirculation indicator and the rear window defogger indicator come on. The
recirculation indicator goes off 3 seconds later and the Ay'C indicator comes on. then the self-diagnosis will begin.
About 10 seconds later, the self-diagnosis will finish and the A,/C indicator goes off.

DTC Troubleshooting Index
In case of multiple problems, the recirculation indicator will indicate only the DTC with the least number of blinks.
ln case of an intermittent failure, the heater control panel will store the DTC until the ignition is turned off.
